AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring warn-
ings on generative artificial intelligence systems
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section
2 399-zzzzzz to read as follows:
3 § 399-zzzzzz. Warnings on generative artificial intelligence systems.
4 1. As used in this section the following terms shall have the following
5 meanings:
6 (a) "Generative artificial intelligence system" shall mean any artifi-
7 cial intelligence system whose primary function is to generate content,
8 which can take the form of code, text, images, and more.
9 (b) "Artificial intelligence" shall mean a machine-based system that
10 can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions,
11 recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments.
12 Artificial intelligence systems use machine- and human-based inputs to
13 perceive real and virtual environments; abstract such perceptions into
14 models through analysis in an automated manner; and use model inference
15 to formulate options for information or action. This definition includes
16 but is not limited to systems that use machine learning, large language
17 model, natural language processing, and computer vision technologies,
18 including generative AI.
19 2. The owner, licensee or operator of a generative artificial intelli-
20 gence system shall conspicuously display a warning on the system's user
21 interface that is reasonably calculated to consistently apprise the user
22 that the outputs of the generative artificial intelligence system may be
23 inaccurate and/or inappropriate.
24 3. Where such owner, licensee or operator of a generative artificial
25 intelligence system fails to provide the warning required in subdivision
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[] is old law to be omitted.

2 a civil penalty of the lesser of twenty-five dollars per user of such

5 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
6 have become a law.
